"The American Bottom 45" is a daily show on The Retro Attic that focuses on neglected records from the 50's through the 80's - minor charters that peaked between 41 and 100, bubbling under/looking ahead entries that peaked between 101 and 150, non-charters, and even occasional records that were only hits in Canada, the UK, and Australia.
If this sounds cool to you, then feel free to join our Facebook group at http://facebook.com/groups/theamericanbottom45 and request your favorite minor charter! The first of the two daily shows airs tomorrow at 1 PM eastern, immediately after a new edition of "The Retro Attic Request Hour."
